Is your child being challenged to love God and love learning? 
Paideia Academy's classical & Christ-centered approach to education addresses the heart and soul of a student as well as the mind.  The emphasis at Paideia Academy is on teaching your student how to think and learn along with a clear understanding that all truth is God’s truth.  We are a college-preparatory liberal arts school with high academic standards, challenging coursework, and a low student/teacher classroom ratio.
